IEFC621I lists the reason as expected continuation not received.

Can you modify this text as below:

Hi
i replace JCLERROR WITH
//IFPART IF STEP1.RC=0THEN
then also it is giving the jclerror message

In the 8th line, after SYSIN DD *, where is the delimter /* ? Give that and try and give a space in between 0 and THEN in 10th line.

Is the SYSIN DD * defined in the PROC ?

If so, it's invalid.

Hello,

You need to post all of the jcl and control statements together - the same as are submitted - and all of the messages from the actual job output. Please do not add anything to the submitted jcl.

The pieces posted are not complete.

Post the sysout that shows the jcl with line numbers.

When you post this information, use the "Code" tab at the top of the reply panel.

What you posted does not say anything about the "same name" - it says there is an invalid backward reference.

Hello,

SYSOUT=* is quite normal in cataloged PROCedures. We have many coded this way.

The problem is the backward reference to

ybhavesh · New User Joined: 17 Feb 2007 Posts: 46 Location: mumbai

Yes Dick

It is working fine
after spending Two days on that program i want to know the reason why it is not accepting
STEP1.VTOCLIST.RC=0 THEN
and accepting
IF RC=0 THEN

dick scherrer · Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 8:33 am Post subject:

Hi Bhavesh,

Going forward from the simpler example i gave, you will want to change this synntax "STEP1.VTOCLIST.RC=0". Among other things, you've used STEP1 as the procstepname as well as the stepname in the VTOCLIST PROC.

Please look at this example from the Fine Manual and try making the same type of changes to your syntax.
